Background color and selecting

[John Giblin]

For the selected items I do not see the selected color for the columns that have a background color.  here is how i am setting them

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="QTR" UniqueName="Quarter" Background="Silver" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Quarter}" Width="50" />

Hello John Giblin,

 
When you set Background property of a column to a specific color, it paints the background of the cells in this column. By the default the background of a GridViewCell is Transparent and you can see the background of a Row when it is being selected or in any other state. If you need to change the default colour of a column and to see the row in its different states, you need to use a color that allows transparency. Please refer to the markup below:

<telerik:RadGridView AutoGenerateColumns="False"  ItemsSource="{Binding Collection}">
            <telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn Background="#66C0C0C0" Header="ID" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Property1}"/>
                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Name" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Property2}"/>
                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="CompanyName" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Property3}"/>
                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Price" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Property4}"/>
                </telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
</telerik:RadGridView>
